Imported Bank Inquiry
Imported Bank Inquiry lists the statement lines loaded from file. Most are matched to existing transactions automatically; anything the system could not place is left as undefined for you to connect by hand, inline, from this screen.
Where to find it
Go to Banking > Imported Bank Inquiry.
How lines arrive here
- Export your statement and load it through Bank Statement Import, choosing your bank format.
- Rules from Bank Import Pre-settings categorise what they recognise.
- Matched lines are connected to their transactions automatically.
- Unmatched lines appear here as undefined, ready to be linked.
What the list shows
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Date | The transaction date from the statement. |
| Description | The bank's narrative — what you match against. |
| Amount | The value, in or out. |
| Status | Whether the line is connected to a transaction or still undefined. |
| Matched transaction | The system record it was linked to, where one was found. |
Use the search to filter records to a date, an amount or a fragment of the narrative.
Connecting an undefined line
Most undefined lines connect inline without leaving the screen. Where there is genuinely no matching record — a bank charge, interest, a direct debit nobody entered — record it as a payment or deposit first, then match it.
A line staying undefined every month is usually a missing rule rather than a missing transaction. Adding it to Bank Import Pre-settings fixes it once instead of every import.
